17538Re: George? Espagne born France 1861http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.immigration.australia.general/626.1.1/mb.ashx
Thank you so much for your reply to my query. I did already have the Government Gazette entry mentioning George's release and this information backs up and confirms the details in the Gazette as well as George's arrival details on the ship General Gordon. I am wondering if the Trove article has only recently been transcribed as I did attempt to find newspaper information but couldn't find anything. Anyway - great result and many thanks. I have recently sent away for what I believe will be record of George's mother's birth in France (French not very good so not sure what I will be receiving) so that will be another step in the right direction. My next objective would be to try to find out how and why a non-English speaking Frenchman came to be in England and was a member of the crew of an English ship. All very interesting. So thank you again and good to be in touch. Cheers Sue Collett (Australia)2015-07-25 04:15:38Z64917082http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.immigration.australia.general/626.1.1/mb.ashxRe: George?

The year of arrival should be 1895 as stated on page 14. If you add up the years in Australia that he gives in 1929, it totals 33 years. He states in 1924 and 1929 that he has been in the country for 30 years which is obviously an approximate rounding. I doubt that the actual day and month are correct, I have never seen a naturalisation record which is accurate, especially after that many years.<br><br>The General Gordon arrived at Port Pirie in July 1895 from Barry Docks which is just south of Cardiff.

I am trying to trace arrival details for the above person to South Australia. On his naturalisation documents he stated that he arrived in South Australia either Port Adelaide or Port Pirie on board the SS General Gordon ex Cardiff Wales on 10th May 1885. I have to hand a copy of his birth record in France which backs up the information he provided on the naturalisation docs but I have not been able to establish any confirmation of his arrival date in Australia or any travel details from France to England/Wales? One of those dear little family stories says that he jumped ship, but there are conflicting stories as to whether he was a crew member or a member of the French army. Again I have not been able to confirm if he was in the French army.

I was just looking at a ship leaving London for Sydney in 1925, as it seemed a person of interest was on board (Alexander Jeffrey b 1910 Gateshead, Co Durham). He was unaccompanied. Looking through the passenger list, there were many other young teenage men, ages 15-17, from Gateshead on the ship, all unaccompanied. Maybe an agent sending over young workers for a project? Or families sending young men for a better life?<br><br>Anyone have any ideas?

Wow - greetings to you too. How wonderful, we were on the same ship to NZ. We lived in at 10 Ratta St.Mt Monganuie for 3 years, before coming to Australia. My parents, with the 5 of us, ( me being the youngest at 2 yrs old at the time) how wonderful is ancestry? We may not be related but how fantastic that we can join dots anyway, I find that simply awesome. Please keep contact up. The rest are Lew, Madeleen, Marcel (very sadly now deceased), Gabriel and then moi! 3 of us live in Perth WA, and my sister lives in Victoria. And now of course there are the extended lines from all of us! I still speak Dutch, as do all of us, I now have close contact with some of my cousins, who all still live in Holland. Nice one! Where do you hail from in holland? Lots of stories to tell. Cheers and thank you.

Yes. Exactly. She married Thomas and sailed to Australia in 1859. They had a child which died on the voyage out. They had 3 more children and she returned to UK on the death of Thomas. Harriet is my great grandmother through her second marriage to Alfred Grimshaw. <br> Apologies for late reply. <br><br> 2015-04-16 19:44:01Zfamhist200922http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.immigration.australia.general/248.4.1.1.1/mb.ashxJohn henry wright emigrated 1854 from uk http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.immigration.australia.general/621/mb.ashx

I am wondering though if this is the same Pentti Asikainen... I just don't know. I have a manifest that shows he left with an Emil Asikainen to Australia and from Finland to England with my great-grandfather Reino Tobias Asikainen Sr ( Tobi) But I am stuck.
